Yeah, back. I’m gonna be honest: it’s strange. But here I go.
I work at the bar across the street these days. It’s somewhat soul-crushing. I watch a lot of grown men in their forties and fifties who I was raised to respect as my elders while growing up act like fucking children, and I am their babysitter. They even throw fits when I have to discipline (“Sorry. I can’t serve you anymore.”) them. The money is good, but man, I am just getting worn out.
I’ve lost a lot of weight. My girlfriend left me a while back and for some reason (well, I just told you the reason) it’s been hard to eat. But at least I can wear those Levis Silvertab pants I bought ten years ago again. In the divorce I got custody of her turtles. The other day while feeding them, Oliver (the nice one) bit Eli’s (the aggressive one) tail and wouldn’t let go. It was horrible.
I also took John Hodgman and Justin Long’s advice and went from PC to Mac. So far, soooo good.
I’ve had this Jonestown Death Tape ambient project in my head for a year now, but I’ve been working too much and am frankly just too depressed lately to do it. Also, I have this awesome new computer and I have to learn how to use it first.
I have a new roommate named Flynn. She’s cool. She makes me food and stuff and watches TV with me. She also has a one-eyed pet rat named Wilma who bit me (and Kochalka) the other day.
Anyway, Eric is doing an amazing job revamping the site, and I’ve got nothing to do with it. He’s the brains behind all this, I’m the guy who tags along.
Hey.
